“Loved it!” My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and loved it. We booked the Seabreeze Villa and were very very happy with it. The location was great and the apartment had everything we wanted. Although we didn't get to meet Herb and Gale, the service was excellent and the one small problem we had was fixed immediately. We will definitely return!

“Wow!” I have stayed in Manish's condo four times now and love it! The location is beautiful. The condo is very spacious and comfortable. It has everything you'd need from home including a closet full of fun stuff like snorkeling equipment, tennis rackets, beach gear and beach towels already there! I appreciate how well maintained and clean Manish keeps his condo! Will definitely return many more times!!

“Amazing” My wife and I used the cottage for our honeymoon. Our stay was perfect, the cottage was well located on the best side of the island with shopping, food, gas and beaches nearby. The cottage had all the appliances and amenities we needed for our week stay. There are many places to stay on the island but this cottage is amazing it is your own little place away from the bustling overcrowded homogenized resorts. Our favorite town, Hanalei, was just down the road where the views, bay, beach, shopping and eats were all top notch. Reserving and booking the cottage was a breeze with Val and Bruce, ensuring a worry free trip. I would highly recommend the cottage to any couple wanting to get away, but not be trapped in a resort! My wife and I certainly plan on visiting again. Mahalo Val and Bruce for the amazing getaway!

“Look No Further!” It has been almost a year since we stayed at the Island Oasis...and not a day has gone by that we haven't wanted to go back. We went to Kauai for our 10th anniversary carrying very high expectations of beauty, fun, relaxation and comfort...Island Oasis helped capture all of this! What an amazing vacation, all completed by our "home base". Lovely. It was absolutely lovely. And the owners made everything about the trip easy and worry-free. We had the best anniversary and are looking forward to returning! If we could buy the unit we would:) It would be impossible to be disappointed here. I cannot say enough about this condo. We saw turtles, snorkeled on both sides of the unit, ate the most magnificent dinner next door, took walks, watched sunsets and sunrises, reveled in the beauty of it all...best trip ever. Thanks Island Oasis for marking the first 10 years of our marriage!

“Relaxing” It was a great place to stay. The condo is well furnished and had lots of amenities. The only negatives are no beach to swim at and the couch needs to be replaced. We love the Kapaa area and all the restaurants that area available.

“We loved our stay at Plantation Hale and hope to come back soon!” This is a review of condo D11 at the Plantation Hale in Kauai. We are a family of four: 2 adults, a girl aged 14, and a 10 year-old boy. We stayed for 10 days: May 31st through June 10th, 2014. Driving from the airport to the Hale is a quick trip. Kauai is a small island and the Hale is located about equidistant from the southern beaches and the northern beaches (which turned out to be our favorites). It’s on the edge of the town Kapa’a. You can walk to the local Foodland and the Safeway and on into the town center, but we were consistently lazy and just drove. Kapa’a is small and feels like a real Hawaiian town (as opposed to Lahue, the big city you fly into). The condo itself is quite a bit bigger than I expected with plenty of room for our family. We brought way too much stuff and didn't use most of it, so we just stored it all in the roomy closets. The kitchen is a good size and has lots of usable counter space and a pass-through to the dining area so you can talk to people in the living room while cooking or cleaning. The bathroom has a huge counter containing the sink, which turned out to be very useful because we had a shocking number of hair products, sun products, bug dope, and assorted toiletry bottles we used every day, and I don’t know where they would have ended up (or where we would have applied them) if the bathroom didn't have this big counter and open space. The bedroom had a brand new king sized bed, which was very comfortable. The pull-out sleeper couch was also new and very comfortable. There was also two nice televisions in the unit, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The condo was recently redecorated and remodeled. They did an excellent job, as the feel is very modern and the furnishings are quiet nice. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. We were on the top, second floor. The condo is on the beach side of the Hale as opposed to the highway side so you don’t hear the road while in the condo. Parking was never an issue and we were always able to easily park within a few yards of the entrance to our stairs. The condo itself was very quiet. The building seems pretty heavily built and we rarely heard anybody. I don’t know if the first floor guests could hear us stomping around, but no one complained. The condo complex has 3 pools but our condo was closest to the best one with a hot tub, outdoor shower, pool and an outdoor cooking grill. Since it’s just down the stairs and across a short sidewalk you don’t need to put on shoes. It was also kind of handy to be able to just look over at the pool from our porch to see if anyone was currently using the hot tub. The porch runs along the entire length of the condo, so there is room for guests if you happen to meet people during your vacation. In summary: We really enjoyed the condo. It was very useful and didn't have any real negatives. Also, even though this is a review of the Hale condo, I highly recommend vacationing in Kauai. I've been to the big island, Oahu and Maui over the years and Kauai is now definitely my favorite island. It’s got everything we needed for a Hawaiian vacation: hiking, snorkeling, body surfing and actual surfing, many different beaches with varied attributes, and, it’s all beautiful! Just driving around looking at the scenery is fun. I also think Kapa’a is a great town to stay in, as it seems to be a good mix of size, location (on the island), convenience and authentic feel. We really enjoyed walking around the town and visiting the many different shops and eateries. We loved renting bikes and biking the awesome trail along the shore. And we really enjoyed the body surfing at the beach on the north end of town. If we manage to do this again we will try to get this same condo as it seemed just about perfect for our needs.

“Great July weekend in Kaha Lani” The apartment was well-situated to get supplies from Lihue and allow to explore both the northern and southern parts of the island in at most a 1hr drive. The apartment itself was spacious, provided a great view of the ocean, and had most amenities (real working knives that cut stuff!). Although the apartment had no AC, the ocean breeze was sufficient to keep things temperate even on the hottest days and nights. I would highly recommend it and would definite consider renting again when I find myself back in Kauai.

“This well maintained and managed condo is in a great location.” We loved the proximity to the beach, playground, and bike paths. There is a great open market and two large grocery stores within walking distance. The staff are friendly and helpful. The pools were clean and pleasant. I loved barbequing under the palms, and walking over to the nearby shops in the coconut market in the evening. Kapaa is a central spot for accessing all of the island's destinations. We had a great family vacation.

“Just right” Everything... the location, condition, view, amenities... were just right. There was even Salsa dancing next doormat the aston hotel.

“Great Unit - very happy here!” Unit 121 at Kaha Lani was absolutely super! Very well equipped, appears to be recently renovated. The only problem is the bathroom needs some attention in future, its OK, but it really needs updating. Kitchen was well equipped & everything we required was there - the owners have put a lot of thought & effort into this unit & it shows! Need a couple of beach mats tho. We left a beach chair there for others to enjoy, hopefully will still be there in 2015! View is also super, great ocean view, eastern exposure so sunrise very nice in the mornings. We liked it here & we booked again for 2015! Garden Island Properties (in Kapa'a) was super also - anything that goes wrong or needs fixing, they do it fast with no hassles! You cannot go wrong at Kaha Lanim - its a super place to rent for any period, its a real family place as well. Pool is super & Bbqs are well maintained, the whole place is very well maintained at all times by friendly helpful staff.

“Great lodging at a great price!” Pros: -Location was great, right next to Lydgate State Park and beachfront. Beach directly in front of condos is very nice and not at all crowded. Very short drive to Kapaa. Close to a nice public golf course. -Centrally located on the island, a short drive to all other tourist destinations. Easily accessible from highway, you'll avoid some traffic jams by not being right in town. (Kapaa) -Unit was very clean, comfortable, well-outfitted and well maintained. Just about everything in good working order. A little short on linens and pillows for 4 people. Having 1.5 baths was great. -This ground floor unit is steps from the beach, fairly close to pool and laundry. Patio views are very nice. Pool is small but fine. Hot tub not working. Condo complex is well-maintained, feels secure, staff super friendly and helpful. There were always staff and/or security around. -Unit came with beach towels, chairs, coolers. I don't think all units have those things. -Furniture was utilitarian but nice and clean. Plenty of nice patio furniture. Cons: -This particular unit got quite warm during the day due to its location in the complex. Direct sun from ocean side most of the day. Only an issue if your body temp runs on the hot side. There are shades to close. Master bedroom on opposite side of unit was shaded by other buildings and stayed cool. Unit was equipped with 2 portable fans (a bonus) and 2 ceiling fans. I don't know which units might be cooler during the day--or if all on the ocean side would have this issue. Living room ceiling fan did not work well, bedroom ceiling fan worked great. -Fold-out futon bed is small, would be tight for two adults. Didn't work for our two teen boys. Fortunately, chairs in living room also fold down flat, we put 2 together for a second bed. We should have checked that out in advance.
